About me

Meet Claudette

Let's Connect

My name is Claudette. I am a passionate Raleigh photographer with over eight years of experience in capturing life’s precious moments. My journey has taken me through numerous classes and workshops with world-renowned photographers, and my work has been featured on Shutterfly’s Blog of Creative Newborn Ideas.

Meet Claudette

Married with a beautiful daughter and identical twin boys, I find immense joy in photographing couples, families, children, and especially newborns. With a Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology and over fifteen years of experience as a children’s dance and music teacher, I excel at making kids feel happy and relaxed during photo shoots. My goal is to achieve beautiful, natural-looking photos every time.

My all-time favs

MY FAMILY

We love spending time together, whether it's cuddling at home, exploring the outdoors, or creating art projects.

Traveling

We enjoy visiting new places, with favorites being our trips to Europe and the beach.

Coffee

A quiet coffee shop with a perfect cappuccino is my retreat during busy seasons.

Teaching

Formerly a teacher, I bring educational fun to my kids at home.

Let’s create
history
together

Hello, and welcome to CLJ Photography. My name is Claudette, and I am a newborn photographer based in Wake Forest, serving Raleigh and the Triangle Area. With over 10 years of experience in the newborn photography space, I have had the pleasure of capturing the beauty, innocence, and wonder of countless newborns and their families.

When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy teaching dance to children and running a flower farm on Long Island. My love of nature and beauty is reflected in every image I take, and I strive to create a comfortable, stress – free environment for both parents and babies.

“I genuinely look forward to the opportunity of working with you and your family!”
